Operation Flashpoint 2 - Games

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;17624729]It actually looks really awesome, but still the first person animations and the absence of an aiming deadzone plus simplified squad controls are what's making it less appealing. Still, I look forward to playing this. [editline]01:25AM[/editline] Helicopters better fucking handle realistically or at least not horribly arcadey, or I will shit a huge brick from one into Codemasters' office.[/QUOTE] If Codemasters takes any influence from the XBox COD elitists, the game will be horribly arcadey, and will have hardly any realism. Another thing that bothers me is the brown. There's more than one color than brown and white.

Preordered this on the PS3, I haven't really read about the console limitations. This'll hold me over until MW2.

[QUOTE=Tac Error;17474090]You should already know from all the dev walkthroughs and gameplay videos released.[/QUOTE] That it's not gonna be realistic.

Why's everyone complaining about the console version? Just because it has less multiplayer capability? Get the fuck over it, there's still co-op and such, and honestly 4v4 doesn't sound that bad.

4v4 Sounds pretty poor, but they've got bots as well right?

8 bots per person. Still not good enough.

I might as well buy my new processor and play ArmA II. Hopefully anything like ACE mod will be good.

It's out in some places already. It's gotten good reviews so far, and lots of people are saying it runs really well, and some even say it's better than ARMA 2. Some reviews: [url]http://www.game.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?lid=12103[/url] [url]http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=224624[/url] The main negatives in both of these were expected, because it was going to be on consoles too. GAME's negatives were because it was too realistic at times, and wouldn't suit the 'run 'n gun' style player.

OPM UK said it was good but the hardness of it can become tedious. [editline]10:18AM[/editline] They gave it 7/10. IGN gave it 8.1 or something

Did they talk about vehicles?

so basically what I'm gathering is; this game is so hard that it's a negative? Ha

I think it depends on the reviewer

[QUOTE=bepassley;17689673]so basically what I'm gathering is; this game is so hard that it's a negative? Ha[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Developer]I got shot in the head. It's nothing serious, but I'm bleeding. Badly.[/QUOTE] I don't think this game is hard for some reason...

[QUOTE=The Spike;13816079]Puff of smokes is gay, muzzle flashes leaving smoke and heat haze is cool. Hope theres a mission when your in a airplane and you all jump out in the darkness and AA guns shooting up at everyone and your like "PEW PEW PEW" and land in shit creek and you got to regroup everyone and raid the town. [/QUOTE] It's not "gay", it's how it is in reality. Which is what this game is supposed to be accurately replicating. And this isn't Medal of Honor Airborne, so go play that.

[QUOTE=bepassley;17689673]so basically what I'm gathering is; this game is so hard that it's a negative? Ha[/QUOTE] From the gameplay I've seen so far, it doesn't look that hard. I reckon it's just because the reviewers are nearly always comparing it to Modern Warfare, even though they are two completely different games. This happened to Risen as well. One reviewer gave it a 3/10 because it was too difficult for him.

Broken AI, annoying post processing, and 63 entity limit? Pass.

Does anyone know if this is good on xbox 360? I was gonna rent it on friday.

[QUOTE=Dylan_94_2;17696980]Does anyone know if this is good on xbox 360? I was gonna rent it on friday.[/QUOTE] It's gonna be shit for multiplayer.

Since this is codemasters, I expect at least good driving AI.

Does the PC version have a map editor.

[QUOTE=kukiric;17699314]Since this is codemasters, I expect at least good driving AI.[/QUOTE] Not always, I tried commanding my squad down a simple road and they kept getting stuck on a sandbag barrier. :downs: As far as the Xbox 360 goes, the graphics are decent, on par with Bad Company I would say, the driving is a little stiff on most vehicles, sniping is fun, tho most enemies seem to spot you from miles away and shoot the shit out of you. Game is pretty difficult at times and theres alot of running. Overall I'd give this game a 7/10 - Good.

[QUOTE=SomeGuest;17699996]tho most enemies seem to spot you from miles away and shoot the shit out of you.[/QUOTE] So I guess the AI is not so different from Bohemia's games then.

It looks fun, but I think I'll wait until I get a new PC to run it well instead of buying it on consoles.

Downloading the game off steam right now, hope its good. Anyone up for a Coop game?

[QUOTE=Chunk3ym4n;17698471]LIVE STREAM: [url]http://www.justin.tv/toasty411[/url][/QUOTE] I loled when the guy was driving a humvee off the road and started getting fired upon by AT. The first few missed but one hit incredibly close to it, injuring most of the soldiers inside and obliterating the machine gunner on the top. Then the next shot blew up the humvee.

This is basically what ArmA is, except the game has ballistics and all of that good stuff.

Holy FUCK this game is fun, it actually runs decent on the laptop equivalent of an 8600GT and a 2.0ghz C2d It plays out like I usually play war games - not too cautious but enough to warrant not dying instantly or falling asleep Aside from the little mouselag, which I compensate for anyway because I have a tendency to lead targets by a few feet a la battlefield vietnam Also, lol @ the driving AI. This one guy got in a car when I was shooting him and just proceeded to drive off the road, running into his two mates, drive backwards over them, and take a shot to the face. This game is not hard or easy because you engage most of your targets at 200 metres but it's pretty goddamn fun. One gimmick is that you can't bind to mouse buttons well though.
